Chapter 173 Some people come, some want to leave
In Vladivostok, intentional killing is punishable by death.
Of course murdering one's own children is also murder. Tiger poison does not even eat its own children. Even killing one's own children is worse than an animal.
Prioritizing boys over girls, in the final analysis, there is no way. The family is poor and cannot afford to raise so many children, so they can only try their best to tilt resources towards boys, and girls will not be taken seriously.
This problem basically does not exist in Vladivostok. Boys and girls are treated equally in schools, and both are given clothes and food. Tuition fees are free of charge. There is even a girls' school in Vladivostok, which only accepts girls.
Is there any reason not to raise girls?
In Chinese tradition, a girl is her father’s little cotton-padded jacket.
George did not go to the girls' school with Mozhaysky. The girls' school was managed by someone sent by Ekaterina alone. Catherine did not allow George to go to the girls' school.
After inspecting Xizhuang, George sent Mozhaisky home.
The hillside villa near Yuriev Palace has not yet been built, so Mozhaysky and other support personnel from St. Petersburg temporarily lived in the naval guest house near the Futuan camp.
George felt that it was necessary to build a higher-level guest house in Vladivostok.
We can’t have any guests over, so we arrange them all in the guest house.
The conditions of the guest house are definitely much worse than those of Yuriev Palace, so George hopes that Mozhaysky will not mind.
"It doesn't matter, I'm a veteran of the navy, how could I dislike the navy-" Mozhayski was already very pleasantly surprised.
In the consciousness of most Russians, Siberia is an uninhabited and barbaric land.
Vladivostok only became a Russian territory 20 years ago, and its registered population has not yet exceeded 10,000, which is even less than when the Tsar granted Vladivostok to George.
This is mainly to blame Mikhail.
After Mikhail came to Vladivostok, he carried out detailed registration of the population of Vladivostok, threw all Japanese and ethnic Americans into the mines to mine, and sent Chinese to Sakhalin to open up wasteland, which directly caused the population of Vladivostok to be depopulated. At the very least, there were less than 2,000 people left.
Last summer the first batch of immigrants from the Qing Empire became Russian citizens, and the population of Vladivostok finally recovered to 9,800 people.
In the spring of this year, the population of Vladivostok will increase significantly, and there should be more Chinese workers bringing their families to settle in Vladivostok.
Before arriving in Vladivostok, Mozhaysky, like most Russians, knew Vladivostok only as a place of exile for Russian prisoners.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in Vladivostok, Vladivostok not only had industry, but also had a more complete primary education system than St. Petersburg, which far exceeded Mozhaisky's expectations.
Kuklev and Danila were even more surprised.
Kuklev did not stay in a guest house, but took his car directly to the Vladivostok Machinery Factory.
The task that George gave Kuklev and Karpov was to combine their cars and make the most advanced car in the world. George was going to take the car back to St. Petersburg as a gift to Nepal. Gula's gift.
Since it is a gift to the crown prince, it must be carefully made.
Kuklev finally knew what kind of research conditions Karpov had.
At the Vladivostok Machinery Factory, if Karpov has any ideas, he can always find skilled and experienced workers to help him realize them.
Kuklev’s car is still able to drive.
Karpov's cars have begun to pursue comfort and driving experience.
"The shock-absorbing effect of springs is not good. We have conducted more than 20 tests and finally confirmed that the shock-absorbing effect of steel plates and rubber wheels is the best-" Karpov looked shy and seemed a little embarrassed: "-Duke As I said, we still have a big problem with our wheels. It would be better to use inflatable rubber tires, but we can’t do that because it’s too difficult and requires more professional technology.”
Cook. Lev didn't know what was embarrassing about this. His car still used carriage wheels, and there was no concept of rubber tires at all.
There is no other way. Russia does not produce natural rubber, so even if Kuklev wanted to use rubber, he would not be able to use it.
Vladivostok does not produce natural rubber, but it can be imported from Southeast Asia.
The spokes of the four wheels of Karpov's car are made of iron, and the spokes are wrapped with a thick layer of natural rubber. The width of the wheels is also much wider than that of Kuklev's wheels, which improves comfort. Significant improvement.
Karpov's car also has a roof and steering wheel, and there is a windshield in front of the driver, so that the driver's position is wrapped and he no longer has to worry about wind and sun.
When he was in St. Petersburg, Kuklev had quite a lot of confidence in his car.
After seeing Karpov's car, Kuklev wanted to throw away his car.
Of course Kuklev’s car is not without merit.
The transmission mechanism of Kuklev's car is obviously more advanced than Karpov's.
What else is there to say? Let’s change it.
Before making any changes, Kuklev and Karpov had to confirm the plan.
Danila also joined in at this time.
Danila is very happy these days. He and Kanunnikov are both faculty members of St. Petersburg University. Danila is a lecturer and Kanunnikov is a professor. Although they have different statuses, they are finally There is someone to communicate with. The internal combustion engine that Danila is good at is the most important heart of the car.
At St. Petersburg University, it was difficult for Danila to verify her invention because Danila had limited resources. St. Petersburg University did not have enough resources for Danila to call upon.
For Danila, the Vladivostok Machinery Factory is a great treasure. No matter what whims he has, the engineers at the Vladivostok Machinery Factory can "knead" out what Danila needs.
Danila finally enjoyed Joseph's original happiness. The difference was that in Oak Park, the only technical staff who provided technical support to Joseph was master and apprentice Igor.
Providing technical support to Danila are 600 experienced engineers and skilled workers from the Vladivostok Machinery Factory.
Mikhail's poaching tactics are gradually showing their power. Just after Christmas, more than 10 engineers from France arrived in Vladivostok.
A month ago, more than 20 engineers from the UK and France arrived. Their arrival was a huge improvement to the technical capabilities of the Vladivostok Machinery Factory. Now the Vladivostok Machinery Factory has its own design team.
"This car is a gift to the crown prince and will not be mass-produced. Don't forget the Duke's request. Agricultural machinery and construction machinery are our focus." Daniela always keeps George's request in mind , now even if the car is successfully developed, few people can afford it.
Today’s cars require a maintenance team to be equipped with them after you buy them. If the problem of failure rate is not solved, cars will not be popularized on a large scale.
On the contrary, agricultural machinery and construction machinery have a wider range of applications.
Less than a week after arriving in Vladivostok, Danila installed his engine on the fishing boat and achieved good results.
The key point of a marine engine is to be waterproof. If it were in St. Petersburg, even if Danila had the idea, it would not be possible.
Not to mention anything else, Danila cannot solve the problem of waterproof shell alone.
At the Vladivostok Machinery Factory, Danila only had to make a request, and skilled workers at the Vladivostok Machinery Factory knocked out a shell for Danila manually in just one hour.
After being assembled together, they fit perfectly and the waterproofing problem was perfectly solved.
The moment he saw the result, Daniela, a tall man over 1.8 meters tall, almost cried.
Although it only solved the design problem, it did not solve the mass production problem.
But in any case, this is a good start and makes Danila confident about the future.
With such support, if we still can't achieve results, even the superb skills of the master workers will be unworthy.
"If it is only given to the Crown Prince, wouldn't His Majesty have any objections? Where is the Queen?" Karpov is smart. It doesn't matter whether this thing is practical or not. The key is that there are good things to think about the Tsar. This is the secret of Jane in the emperor's heart.
The Tsar already has a family, so why not give George, the investor, one?
George is here, where is Princess Yurievskaya? What about the Duke's uncle?
So even if this car is completely handmade and cannot be mass-produced, it is still indispensable. We will still need more than ten or twenty cars.
Low production can just increase the price, and George will not miss this opportunity.
This is just the Russian royal family.
The royal families of various European countries and the princes of the Qing Empire are tired of so-called good things in the secular sense. Are they not interested in the new thing of cars?
All I can say is that there aren’t too many people interested.
Derham's research on automobiles was carried out with the support of Emil Jelinek, the Austrian consul in Nice, France.
George is not very demanding. If someone wants to buy this car, George can just sell it for three to five thousand rubles. In terms of the cost of this car, he basically sells one and makes five thousand rubles. vehicle.
In fact, there are people who are very interested in cars now, such as Amur Governor Korv.
Kolff spent this year in Amur extremely depressed.
George only stayed in Vladivostok in the winter, and returned to St. Petersburg after spring. He stayed in Vladivostok for at most half a year.
Kolf couldn't go anywhere. He dreamed of returning to the prosperous place of St. Petersburg, but he had no choice.
If Amur was a good place, Korff wouldn’t be the governor.
Over the past year, Korff has thought of countless ways to be transferred back to St. Petersburg, even if he loses his rights after returning to St. Petersburg.
This is as if Korff had power in Amur.
The most powerful person in Amur is George. Even if Korff wants to do something, he can't do anything without the resources.
If you want to be transferred back to St. Petersburg, you have to follow the path of a big shot.
The local specialties of Vladivostok are basically looked down upon by the big shots. Basically, everything that is available in Vladivostok is available in St. Petersburg.
Only cars are new.
So Korff has long been eyeing cars, hoping to use the car as a gift in exchange for his transfer back to St. Petersburg.
